The Project
WuXi Biologics commissioned the design and manufacture of a 14-metre-wide double sliding curved gate for their Irish facility. The gate had to integrate seamlessly with the existing architecture of the estate, reflecting the prestige of the location while incorporating advanced automation for smooth, reliable operation and meeting stringent security standards.
The project presented multiple design and engineering challenges. Matching the gate's appearance to the estate's distinctive architectural language required a highly detailed design process. Automating double sliding curved panels at this scale demanded precision engineering to ensure smooth, consistent movement without compromising visual appeal. Security requirements further shaped the structural specification throughout.
The Solution
The successful fusion of visionary design and cutting-edge technology in creating the double sliding curved gate stands as a testament to innovative architectural solutions. The estate’s entrance now serves as a landmark, exemplifying the harmonious marriage of aesthetics and security. This project showcases the potential for creative design thinking and technological integration to produce a solution that not only meets functional requirements but elevates the overall aesthetic and security standards of a prestigious estate.
The Result
The completed gate now serves as a defining feature of the WuXi Biologics estate entrance, integrating naturally with the surrounding architecture while delivering the security and automated performance the facility required. The curved track system operates smoothly and consistently, with the two sliding panels moving in precise coordination at a scale that demonstrates the engineering capability behind the project.
The project stands as an example of what is achievable when bespoke design and advanced automation technology are applied to a complex architectural brief. The estate entrance reflects the quality standards of the organisation it represents, while providing robust, reliable access control for a high-specification facility.
A landmark entrance combining architectural precision and advanced automation.
The WuXi Biologics estate features a 14-metre curved sliding gate that sets the standard for security and design at a prestigious scientific facility.
